Alberta Fashion Week celebrated its closing night on
Saturday, March 27th after six nights of sold-out shows
and more than 2,700 attendees

For the designers involved, AFW provided a platform to
showcase to buyers and build brand awareness. For
Calgarians, the shows and after-parties offered the
chance to see the glitz and glamour of fashion week,
first hand, and to get a glimpse of the amazing
prairie-bred talents.

The show was a hit. I don't really know if it could
have been any better, says designer Kyle Nylund of
Daleio Wearables. It's so overwhelming to go into the
crowd after [the show] and have a flurry of people rush
up to you. I had a couple of people [who] want to sell
my stuff in their stores . . . You might be seeing Kyle
Nylund in a store near you very soon!

The hair and makeup was not to be outdone by the
fashions as models stomped down the runways with
elaborate hair designs by
Pure Form Salon in Calgary and electrifying makeup
by
Lady Venom Cosmetics based out of Edmonton.

Alberta Fashion Week will continue to bring the world of
fashion to Calgary with its bi-annual events. Plans are
already underway for AFW's next season slotted for Fall
2010.
